对于一个在北平住惯的人,像我,冬天要是不刮风,便觉得是奇迹;济南的冬天是没有风声的。
To someone used to Peking's winds, a windless winter is a miracle — Jinan's winters are windless.
一个老城,有山有水,全在天底下晒着阳光,暖和安适地睡着,只等春风来把它们唤醒。
The old city, mountains and water, lies sunning under the sky, warm, asleep, waiting for spring's waking.
最妙的是下点小雪呀。看吧,山上的矮松越发的青黑,树尖上顶着一髻儿白花。
Best of all is a light snow — the pines on the hills grow blacker, each tip wearing a white bun.
济南是受不住大雪的,那些小山太秀气。
Jinan can't bear heavy snow — those little hills are too delicate.
